Got any soundchecks with wacky songs never played at shows? I am listening to 11-2-91 right now with a crazy soundcheck. First it's Sweet Jane>Sweet Jane vocal jam, Gimme 3 steps, Rocketman. the first set that follows is pretty sweet as well!

7-6-97 in Italy. Soundcheck madness! Starts with Sampson Variation, kind of ambiant music, written by Ernie Stires (Trey's compsition teacher), then into Olivia's Pool. After that you can hear church bell's ringing and Trey (weakly) tries Hell's Bells. After that, straight into Kareoke Limbo! "No more guys, we gotta get some girls up here!" Other hilarity ensues

is that the soundcheck with the james brown 'mmmbop'? now thats some funny shit.

oh yeah. this is more like a freeform first set than a soundcheck. tons of people were at this having a limbo contest. ive seen a video going around too, looked like a great time! damn i wish i went to europe for those shows.

Rolling Stone recently posted an interview with Phish frontman Trey Anastasio focusing on the band’s upcoming tour. Anastasio was asked about the possibility of Phish releasing a box set of soundchecks and Trey thought it was a great idea

“I am a huge soundcheck fan. That is a great idea.” Big Red added,

38 tracks were culled from Phish’s officially released soundchecks dating back to a brief clip from their August 13, 1993 show in Indianapolis compiled by Andy Kahn. Unsurprisingly, soundcheck and former FOH soundman Paul Languedoc’s favorite “Dog Log” makes four appearances in the over five hour-long playlist. It’s presented chronologically, from their oldest rehearsal to their most recent officially released soundcheck.
